which cord vacuum has this sub deemed the best?
It really comes down to three brands, but the big requirement is that they all use bags. Bagless units eventually kill themselves because fine dust bypasses the cyclones and grinds down the motor bearings. A bag acts as the primary filter to stop that happening. If you have carpets, the consensus splits between Miele and SEBO because they have powered electric brush heads to dig the dirt out. Miele is smoother to use, but SEBO is built like a tank and easier to repair yourself. If you mostly have hard floors, the Numatic Henry is arguably the most durable option. It’s basically just a commercial motor in a hard shell with no circuit boards to fail. It just lacks the powered beater bar for deep rugs.
